Every building has a few stories in its walls. Ours has Dorothy Shaver’s.
On Saturday, October 31 at noon, Halloween comes to Shaver Hall. Bring the kids in costume to trick-or-treat through the hall. Then settle in for Hotel Transylvania, a monster movie that’s more silly than scary. Our vendors will have festive food and treats for the grown-ups too.
Long before this building was home to Shaver Hall, Dorothy was running the place. She started at Lord & Taylor selling her sister’s rag dolls and once led a team of retail “spies” who scouted the competition. She went on to become the first woman to lead a major American department store.
Dorothy built her career on making people feel welcome here, and we like to think she still checks in every now and then to see what we’ve done with the place.
